needing to check config of php

[spie34]

I am trying to go through the tut of qmailrocks. I have run into the problem where the it is talking about making sure php is installed. It is installed since I can locate the php.ini file and the user docs and so forth. At least I think it is . http://www.qmailrocks.org/webmail_rh_slack.htm

Now I do not know the commands to make sure that in the configuration of it these options are set.
--enable-track-vars
--enable-force-cgi-redirect
--with-gettext
--with-mysql
Do I also need to have mysql server installed for this?

I dont know too much about the mail stuff you are trying to install or if it requires a mysql DB however those options look like they are ./configure options for building PHP from source

f you would like to see what your PHP can support try this:


1. install and run apache (if u dont have it just grab the rpm and rpm-ivh it)
2. go to the directory that contains the web document root (/var/www/html i think)
3. open up your favorite text editor and create a new file with this in it:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

4. save file as test.php
5. move file or save file to directory from step 2 above (you may need to be root)
6. start apache (via command line or use the service GUI to start httpd)
7. open web browser and go to http://localhost/test.php

this will give you all of the options that php was build with and all of the functions, etc. that it is setup to support

good luck!

The php rpm that comes with Fedora has all of those options. I checked mine with phpinfo().

Since the whole goal is to install Squirrelmail, you probably don't need mysql.

There is a squirrelmail rpm that comes with Fedora that will make things simpler. Run

yum install squirrelmail
